Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norwood Hill
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have filters that clog soon after cleaning and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help.
Work in a small place like Norwood Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When to call us in Norwood Hill
A canopy in Norwood Hill picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
Around Norwood Hill, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What affects the quote in Norwood Hill
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Norwood Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Norwood Hill questions
Which environmental health team covers Norwood Hill?
The local authority for Norwood Hill is Mole Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Norwood Hill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Norwood Hill. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
